“Certain souls seem hard because they are capable of strong feelings, and they sometimes go to rather extreme lengths; their apparent unconcern and cruelty are but ways, known only to themselves, of feeling more strongly than others.”
Marquis De Sade
“Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.”
T.S. Eliot
“If one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements. And finally, there is an intense delight in abandoning faulty states of mind and in cultivating helpful ones in meditation.”
Dalai Lama
“Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery.”
Bertrand Russell
“What is objectionable, what is dangerous, about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.”
Robert Francis Kennedy
“I feel like I came out and ran the ball extremely hard.”
Travis Henry
